(New Orleans, LA) The Chiropractic Association of Louisiana hosted this year's gathering of state association leaders in New Orleans at the annual meeting of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations. Set to the theme "Chiropractic and All That Jazz," over 100 delegates from 45 state chiropractic associations participated in round table discussions and workshops aimed at improving their operations and overall effectiveness. Most of the sessions were geared towards providing association management training for state elected leaders and staff. According to COCSA Executive Director Janet Jordan, "This is really what sets us apart from other chiropractic conferences. Sure, we deal with chiropractic issues because it's important for our state association leaders to know what's going on out there, but we are really the only resource for chiropractors on how to run a state association." Jordan went on to say, "We must be doing something right because the popularity of our meeting continues to grow. This year is the largest meeting I can remember and is certainly a record breaker when is comes to corporate support."

Topics covered at this year's meeting included strategic planning and implementation, volunteer recruitment, membership development, public relations, media relations, chiropractic unity, and HIPAA. In addition state leaders received updates from the American Chiropractic Association, the International Chiropractors' Association, the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research, and NCMIC. Kent Greenawalt of Footlevelers also provided an update on the unified national PR campaign that he is developing and that chiropractic organizations across the board have agreed to support. An official kick-off for this campaign is to take place at the Parker Seminar in Las Vegas.
